Getting my blade to start hashing

[phazon307]

I am a complete newb to all this so understand that when you reply I finally got my blades configuration page I would like to add the stratum from my pool into the blades configuration and use BFG Miner to mine because I also have 4 usb block erupters connected using BFG miners now I just need to figure out how to connect my blade.

Because you have to run bfgminer in proxy mode for the blade.... you are better off running the usb's on another system.

[Bram]

Create a bat file  called something like autominer.bat with with the following command:

bfgminer --http-port 8332 -S erupter:all -o stratum+tcp://stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 -u YOUR-BITCOIN-ADDRESS  -p ANY-PASSWORD

save the file.

execute the file.

It will pickup all the erupters and the blades.


Enjoy

This is bullshit.  Rather than giving wrong advice, try not saying anything at all.

[phazon307]

What about brams advice?

[ssateneth]

I run my BFGMiner in proxy mode too, works for for blades. Ignore the part where stacksmasher says to run the usb on a different system.

What bram says is correct, but I use a .conf file for all my settings. It should get the same end result.

Well lets see if he gets it working...

If you have added --http-port 8332

Then your blade settings should look something like this given your computer that bfgminer is running on has the IP 192.168.0.3 and your router IP 192.168.0.1

IP	:	192.168.0.12
Mask	:	255.255.255.0
Gateway	:	192.168.0.1
WEB Port	:	8000
Primary DNS	:	192.168.0.1
Secondary DNS	:	192.168.0.1
Ports	:	8332:8332
Server addresses	:	192.168.0.3,192.168.0.3
user:pass	:	blade1:pass,blade1:pass

Same thing just opens and closes.

[phazon307]

that's exactly what I have in my configuration page.

[phazon307]

Wouldn't I have to put something like this--http://localhost 192.168.0.x-8332 ?

[pjcltd]

I am watching this as I have 30 blades going through a stratum-proxi
And I'm not sure it's all working right

Usually on Windows you have to configure firewall settings to allow inbound ports.

Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Firewall\Allowed apps -> [Allow another app...] button
browse for bfgminer.exe
Add it and select Private

bfgminer.exe needs inbound tpc port 8332 but the above should work if I'm remembering correctly.



If your shortcut is closing you need to open a command prompt and copy the shortcut command to it and issue it to see what error message if any is showing.

No that won't allow the blades to connect to your computer.

lmao I am such a dumb ass after careful examination I had bfg.exe. bfg -0 hahahahah once I got rid of that it started working.

[phazon307]

not showing in my pool maybe I will try the getwork instead of the stratum?

[phazon307]

I have 2 instances of bfg miner one for my usb erupters the other for my blade.

[sidehack]

There's only two ways to run a blade. Point the blade at your pool's Getwork, or point the blade at a proxy and point the proxy at your pool's stratum.

Also the pool might take up to ten minutes to report the additional hashrate. Make sure the blade's user credentials are correct for your pool account.

I just tried this on Windows with bfgminer 3.7.0 and --http-port 8332

No Go!!

Well, I don't use Windows to mine, so I never tried this on that platform, seems it isn't there on Windows???


Plan B?

http://mining.bitcoin.cz/stratum-mining#download

Grab the proxy, second link under Downloads then go to the instructions they have.

I'll pull it also and see if I can get it going on my system.

is 100.45 efficiency for a blade good or bad?
